Reed signed with the Texans in the offseason but has spent all of training camp and the preseason on the PUP list. The Texans have until 4 p.m. ET Saturday to officially remove him from the list. If they don't, Reed would be required to remain on the regular-season PUP list for at least the first six weeks of the regular season.

"He'll be back [Saturday] and we're hoping to do some field drills on Monday and Tuesday with our extra days, with him," coach Gary Kubiak said. "So we'll probably make a quick decision early in the week, Monday or Tuesday on his availability for San Diego. But we're sitting here hoping and we'll see how that goes."
